It was the
coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold. The porcupines,
realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they
covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their
closest companions. After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from
the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to
make a choice: either accept the quills of theircompanions or disappear from
the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They
learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with
their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This
way they were able to survive.
The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect
people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of
others and can admire the other person's good qualities.
